Abstract: An implantable microporous ePTFE tubular vascular graft exhibits long-term patency, superior radial tensile strength, reduction in tear propagation, and increases in suture retention strength and crush resistance. The graft includes an ePTFE tubular structure having a preselected microporous structure. The tubular structure is wrapped externally with a PTFE yarn in a helical fashion. The helical wrap of yarn is bonded to the exterior surface of the tubular structure by application of heat or heat in combination with force to form a composite structure which substantially maintains the porosity of the underlying tubular structure while increasing the suture retention strength, radial tensile strength, crush resistance, and tear propagation resistance.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for obtaining highly specific and tailored ligands suitable for purifying a particular product target or for eliminating particular target impurities in a feed stream. Engineered affinity ligands according to the invention will bind a target with high specificity at a preselected binding condition and release the target at a preselected elution condition. The ligands are isolated by contacting a target with a multiplicity of polypeptides derived through variegation of the structure of a candidate binding domain, the variants (or analogues) including polypeptides favoring binding to the target under desired binding conditions and release from the target under elution conditions, where the binding and elution conditions differ according to one or more parameters, such as pH, temperature, concentration of salt or volume % of an organic solvent.

Abstract: A woven 3D fabric material comprises multilayer axial warp yarns and two orthogonal sets of weft which interlace with the rows and the columns of the warp respectively to provide integrity to the fabric which may additionally incorporate between the rows and the columns of the interlacing warp sets of non-interlacing multi-directionally orientated yarns in the fabric-length, -width, -thickness, and two diagonal directions respectively to improve the fabric's mechanical properties. The interlacing of the multilayer warp and the two orthogonal sets of weft is enabled by a dual-directional shedding means which forms sheds in the row-wise and the column wise directions of the multilayer warp. The produced woven 3D fabric material which may be cut into any desired shape without the risk of splitting up, may be wholly or in parts in technical applications.

Abstract: A system and method for unambiguously determining the position of a user terminal (for example, a mobile wireless telephone) in a low-Earth orbit satellite communications system. The system includes a user terminal, at least two satellites with known positions and known velocities, and a gateway (that is, a terrestrial base station) for communicating with the user terminal through the satellites. The method includes the steps of determining a range parameter, a range difference parameter, and either or both of a range-rate parameter and a range-rate difference parameter. A range parameter represents a distance between one of the satellites and the user terminal. A range difference parameter represents the difference between (1) the distance between a first one of the satellites and the user terminal and (2) the distance between a second one of the satellites and the user terminal. A range-rate parameter represents a relative radial velocity between one of the satellites and the user terminal. A range-rate difference parameter represents the difference between (a) a relative radial velocity between a first one of the satellites and the user terminal and (b) a relative radial velocity between a second one of the satellites and the user terminal. The position of the user terminal on the Earth's surface is then determined based on the known positions and known velocities of the satellites, the range parameter, the range difference parameter, and either or both of the range-rate parameter and the range-rate difference parameter.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for fibre production by recycling waste fibre material includes pressing the waste fibre material with a pressure element along a contact pressure line onto a surface of a feed roller. The pressure force of the pressure element is variable along the length of the contact pressure line depending on the thickness of the fibre material at a respective position on the contact pressure line so that a thick fibre material does not substantially influence processing of a thinner fibre material along the contact pressure line. The pressure element is radially adjustable relative to the feed roller and is configured with at least one adjusting end pressured device. The pressure element may also be adjustable along the circumference of the feed roller.

Abstract: A roll paper loading mechanism (2) for a printer (1) has a slide frame (25) attached to a first cover frame (23), which opens and closes a top opening (22b) of a roll paper holding unit . This first cover frame (23) pivots between open and closed positions in conjunction with the opening and closing of a second cover frame (28). A platen roller (26) is held on an end of the slide frame (25) in a manner enabling the platen roller (26) to turn. After the top opening (22b) of the roll paper holding unit is closed by the first cover frame (23), the second cover frame (28) can pivot independently. This independent pivoting motion of the second cover frame (28) causes the slide frame (25) to slide forward to a position at which the platen roller (26) is positioned at an opposed position with a constant gap to the print head (8). This arrangement increases the sliding distance of the slide frame (25), and thereby reduces the pivot radius needed to fully open the top opening (22b). As a result, the area above the top opening (22b) can be efficiently used to position some other component. A roll paper loading mechanism whereby the opening and closing mechanism for the roll paper holding unit can be compactly configured can thus be provided for a printer. <IMAGE>
